Noah Gittell
Noah Gittell arrived in Cleveland in early 2025 and quickly carved out a place in the Forest City’s music scene. A singer-songwriter who cut his teeth in New York clubs like The Bitter End, Arlene’s Grocery, and Maxwell’s, he’s since become a headliner at Spotlight Cleveland, Dunlap’s Corner Bar, Brothers Lounge, Headquarters, Smedley’s Bar & Grille, and other local favorites. In addition to his original work, he’s known for his crowd-pleasing acoustic Green Day covers and collaborations with Cleveland mainstays. Blending emotional clarity with sharp lyricism, Noah writes songs shaped by the places and people that move him. Influenced by Tom Petty, Ray LaMontagne, and Paul McCartney, he shifts easily between wry storytelling and heartfelt confession.
